The Lovebirds Are Back - And So Is The Truth
The headlines we were waiting for finally hit. Subpoenas are flying, and the same cast of characters that built the "Russia collusion" story are back in the spotlight.
A federal grand jury has issued more than thirty subpoenas connected to the 2016 interference narrative. Names like John Brennan, James Clapper, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, and James Comey are reappearing. Not as talking heads, but as potential witnesses or subjects.
At the same time, prosecutors in the Comey case have been ordered by a federal judge to over hidden FBI records. These records include emails, notes, and “burn bag” materials that were once thought destroyed. Oops.
What started as an investigation into Trump is now circling back to the investigators.
What’s Surfacing
The subpoenas target the January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment-the report that claimed Russia helped Trump win the election and fueled years of media hysteria and overall distrust in the first Trump presidency.
That assessment is now under renewed scrutiny for how it was assembled, who directed its conclusions, and why dissenting analysts were sidelined. The prosecution of Comey has already revealed new documentation suggesting evidence was withheld or destroyed and coordination among the FBI, CIA, and private contractors like Fusion GPS and Crowdstrike went far beyond what was publicly disclosed.
If the Crowdstrike name sounds familiar to you, it should. They have an entire section dedicated to them in my previous piece “The Seth Rich Story They Don’t Want Reopened.”
Forgotten Threads Now Resurfacing
Remember Stefan Harper, the “academic” paid hundreds of thousands of dollars by the Pentagon’s Office of Net Assessment to spy on Trump campaign associates like Carter Page and George Papadopoulos?
Those contracts, which ran through Cambridge and MI6 linked intermediaries, are now reportedly part of the subpoena sweep.
Add to that the revelation that Michael Flynn’s unmasking requests were coordinated between Brennan and Susan Rice in early 2017, raising questions about whether intelligence briefings were being used to stage a pretext for leaks.
And here is the part that no one wants to revisit: The Crowdstrike forensic report, the one the FBI relied on to claim “Russia hacking” of the DNC, was never independently verified by the Bureau. Crowdstrike later admitted under oath to the House Intelligence Committee that they had no concrete evidence that the data was exfiltrated by Russia at all.
Every one of these threads point back to the same people now receiving these subpoenas.
What This Means
When I wrote They All Knew It Was A Lie, my point was clear. This wasn’t a misunderstanding. It was a managed narrative. These latest developments from the DOJ confirm that the lie may finally be meeting its reckoning.
The “lovebirds,” Strzok and Page, who once texted gleefully about stopping Trump, are now part of a legal dragnet pulling back the curtain on what they, and their bosses, were really doing.
The bigger story here isn’t the subpoenas themselves. It is the institutional accountability that could follow. For years, Americans asked how the intelligence apparatus turned inward on a sitting president. Now, those answers might finally come from the people who were there.
The Media Won’t Say It
Corporate outlets are already calling this “Trump’s revenge.” They’ll downplay the evidence and recycle old talking points. But a grand jury does not issue three dozen subpoenas for optics. There is documentation to chase and testimony to secure.
This isn’t political payback. It’s the start of a reckoning. The DOJ is now doing what many journalists and oversight committees refused to do for years: peel back the layers of a narrative that was never meant to be questioned.
